Is this a problem? The pad the compressor sits on seems to collect quite
a puddle, and there is some water standing in the bottom of the housing.
This is an outside unit, that is, a Carrier AC system with outside
compressor and coils, and lines running to an air handler inside. I
thought the cold part of things was the set of coils inside the air
handler. Thanks.

This is Turtle.
I can't say it sound bad just wet out there without looking at it to see other
things it could be wrong.

If there's even a short section of the suction line exposed (no
insulation), it's probably just water condensing on the line and
running down to where it enters the unit..

There are usually drain holes at the bottom of the unit which
occasionally get clogged and need to get cleaned out, if you have
access to it. I also have a Carrier and on my unit. If your unit is
similiar, I shut the power first, then I remove the fan shield on top
and can get access to the bottom and poke a long nail in the drain hole
to clear them.
If your condensate water gets pumped out of the house close to the
compressor, like mine, it could be what the water on the pad is from.
In that case you can just re-route it to drain further away.

Are you sure that the drain from the indoor unit does not come to the same
area?
